Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Capital Spending And Free Cash FlowAnalyst highlights that capital spending should fall substantially after network upgrades finish, materially increasing free cash flow and enabling stronger cash returns and margin expansion.
Merger And Strategic AcquisitionAnalyst expects the planned merger with Cox Communications to accelerate revenue growth, lift margins, boost free cash flow and reduce leverage by adding underpenetrated video and mobile customers.
Network Upgrades And Bundled Product StrategyOngoing network upgrades enabling multi-gigabit speeds, together with a converged bundle strategy and new video offerings, are likely to reduce churn, support average revenue growth and help retain broadband market share.
Bears Say
Competitive Pressure From Fixed Wireless And FiberAnalyst warns that intensified competition from fixed wireless and fiber expansion could keep broadband net losses elevated, pressuring revenue and service margins.
Fragile Cash GenerationWeaker free cash flow driven by higher-than-expected capital spending indicates operating earnings growth is fragile and could be quickly undermined by any slowdown in broadband subscribers.
Valuation And Investor SkepticismValuation assumptions that markets will demand lower leverage and a higher risk premium narrow implied upside and reflect persistent investor skepticism about the business mix.

CQD Earnings Call
Q4 2026
0:00 / 0:00
Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The call presented a mixed picture: management highlighted durable strategic advantages (network upgrades, rural build-out, strong mobile offload, video product improvements, and a path to materially lower capex and higher free cash flow) and modest full‑year EBITDA growth, but results were offset by near‑term revenue declines, a Q4 EBITDA decline, continued broadband customer losses and advertising comparability headwinds. Guidance anticipates only slight EBITDA growth in 2026 with a tougher first half, and leverage remains elevated despite a credible delevering plan. Overall, positives around long‑term positioning and product innovation are balanced by meaningful short‑term operational and revenue headwinds.View all DE:CQD earnings summariesCQD Revenue Breakdown
